I'm planning to have a desktop app interact with some .ASP or .ASPX pages on a server.

I've only done a little bit with .asp pages and I'm thinking I'd just Post or Get a URL with some variables:

MySite.com/Functions.asp?FunctionName=?Paramater1=somevalue?Parameter2=...

I'm wondering if there is any better way to go about this?

Am I missing something? Is there perhaps a better way to go about this?
